Senate Passes Resolution Against Trump’s Tariffs on Canada Amid Growing GOP Dissent
The Senate voted 51-48 to challenge Trump’s tariffs on Canada, marking rising GOP discontent despite its likely failure in the House.
Overview
In a surprising vote, the Senate passed a resolution 51-48 to repeal President Trump's 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, with four Republican senators joining Democrats. This decision, made even as Trump announced new, steeper tariffs on various imports, highlights rising dissent within the GOP regarding Trump's trade policies. Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, and Mitch McConnell voiced concerns over the economic impact, particularly on jobs and businesses tied to trade with Canada. While the resolution lacks legal force and likely won’t move forward in the House, it signals notable fractures in Republican support for Trump’s tariff strategy.
